FORGET THE PENNINE WAY, LET'S HEAD TO SOUTH YORKSHIRE

Right, I've cancelled the Pennine Way, so we stay in the Hope Valley and make our way to the village of Hope. Here, in the centre, is the Cheshire Cheese pub.

 Outside Hope village is the Travellers Rest, once a cider house owned by Bulmers, Today, it has beer too.

North now (see the map here), to the Ladybower Reservoir, with the railway built to aid in the construction.

The next station along the Hope Valley line is Hathersage. 156 468 arrives in 2012 (Phil Richards - Creative Commons License).

Now we know where we are! (Creative Commons License).

The Little John is a nice pub, handy for the station.

The Millstone is pretty decent too, in the centre of the village.

Next, we're into the outskirts of Sheffield (though we're not going into the city just yet), where we meet the city's trams at Fulwood terminus.

On Fulwood Road is the Rising Sun, owned by Abbeydale Brewery.

On the same thoroughfare, the Ranmoor Inn.

Sadly, the nearby Fox & Duck is now deceased.

Up the hill to Crookes in 1906.

The centre of Crookes.

Sheffield tram 256 at School Road, Crookes.

Today, the Ball is owned by Greene King.

The Noah's Ark is a busy boozer.

The Old Grindstone is a great ex Ward's pub.

Down into the Rivelin Valley.

The Man's Head Rock peers down over the valley.

The Rivelin is a tributary of the River Don. Here's a view below the Rivelin Dams.

At the Rivelin Dams terminus is Sheffield Transport Leyland bus 712.

Stannington comes next, with a view between the fields circa 1906.

The Robin Hood, at Little Matlock, Stannington, was worth a visit, but no longer. It's closed.

Oh dear! The Royal at Dungworth has also recently shut.

Up into the hills and we reach Bradfield. Sheffield Transport 1008 was once found here.

By the church in High Bradfield is the Old Horns Inn.

From here there are views of the reservoir and the hills.

That's where I'll end this post. Next time we'll have to drop down into the Upper Don Valley.
